| Subject: | Pirep - Fairings-Etc Gear Intersection Fairings... |
Since I'm building a *metal* airplane and not a fiberglass airplane by personal
choice, when it was time to start the gear intersection fairings I was shocked
and amazed that I was expected to use modeling clay and a make my own mold-in-place
gear intersection fairings. I could probably get one side to look okay,
but I *knew* there'd be no way I could make the other side look just like the
first side. Since I'm considered compulsive about my need for ying/yang and
feng shui in my projects, I just knew this task was going to be a huge pain
in the tail feathers.
I turned to the Internet as I so often do when faced with overwhelming situations, and after a few pokes at the 'ol Google, I happened upon the Fairings-Etc web site ( http://www.fairings-etc.com/ ). Bob Snedaker of Fairings-Etc makes all sorts of fiberglass bits and pieces and after a some of surfing around his web site I found that he is now offering upper and lower main gear intersection fairings for the RV-8 with the Grove Airfoiled landing gear!
The parts arrived yesterday and I pulled them out of the box and slipped them on
the gear and was simply *amazed* at the beautiful fit! They will require a
bit of finishing and final fitting, but nothing major. Their shape is very pleasing
and really tie the Grove gear together with the fuselage and wheel pants.
I've attached a few pictures of the fairings as the look right out of the
box.
The Upper set of fairings are $130 and the lower set are $140. In my opinion an
excellent investment in my RV-8 project. Not only will they save me a ton of
time, but they will look 100 times better than anything I could have ever come
up with.
Run - don't walk - over to Fairings-Etc and order yourself a set today! You won't
be sorry!

Last reminder - I must have payment in hand no later than this Friday if you're planning on camping in RV-10 HQ. Tim's site has the latest and greatest status at http://www.myrv10.com/osh/2009_Campsites.html.
If you're looking to come for only part of the week there are at least a couple
of people looking to work out some sort of split (names also listed on the site).
Any questions, feel free to contact me directly.

Tim,
Nothing unusual to report with the approaches. The arrival into West
Bend was approx 1000 overcast, with good vis. below. Flew the ILS. As
you know the Chelton with
the HITS display makes an ILS a piece of cake. I did note a very small
< 50 feet or so difference between the HITS and the ILS raw data.
On the second approach we flew the GPS into Ainsworth with the weather
at 500-800 BKN to OVC and about 3.
Of the 16 hours total about 2.5 was actual IFR. I was a little
surprised to see that rain, even relatively light, takes about 8 knots
off of the IAS. I had not noticed that before.
I would say it took about 60 hours to become fully comfortable with the
Chelton, meaning being able to get the result looked for with the first
set of button pushes without any repeats. The more I fly the Chelton in
the real IFR world the more I like it. I am sure that the same would
hold true for the other comparable systems as far as the learning curve
goes. I think the Chelton software logic is well thought out for use in
typical IFR ops. It is nice to be able to enter an airway entry and
exit point only and not have to add all of the other intermediate fixes,
i.e. victor 6 across almost 3 states. This feature cuts down typing
errors.
Altitude hold is working very well in both GPSV and the basic modes. I
am running the most recent mods on both the Chelton and TruTrak.

Way cool, Dick! Tell a little about your approaches if you have time
... I'd love to hear how they went!

Just completed a great trip in the 10. Left central Michigan on 7/2
for West Bend, WI to visit friend overnight. Next day first leg of trip
to Salt Lake City, UT was to Ainsworth, NE for fuel and lunch. The
airport was deserted but keys in typical airport car. Had lunch at a
cowboy bar, the L-Bow room in the nearby town of Johnstown, population
53. Across the endless plains (lots of wind farms popping up
everywhere) to Rawlins, WY. for fuel. The final leg took us into Salt
Lake #2 from the northeast.
Spectacular scenery as you drop down over the 12,000' Wasatch range
into the basin. Complex airspace but great handling from SL approach.
Spent several days with sister and family, visited Kennecott Copper
Mine (biggest hole in the ground and trucks I've ever seen) trout
fishing in mountain lakes etc. A great time and beautiful scenery.
On the first leg of the return climbing eastbound over the mountains
the plane weighed about 2500. The ground temp was 80. At 12,000 it was
still ISA +35 making the density altitude something around 14,500. We
still had 800 FPM climb as we leveled at 13,000. Fuel stop at
Scottsbluff, NE after only 2.3 hours. Great place to refuel and eat.
On the way in had a long chat with the center controller who said he is
3 years into his 10. A commuter followed us on the approach and after
we both had landed the controller was asking the commuter what the "10"
looked like. On to Council Bluffs, IA. RON. Today began with a short
flight to Ankeny, IA and nice visit with 86 year old aunt. Final leg
home this afternoon Des Moines - north of Milwaukee across the narrow
spot in the lake and back home in 2.4 with 190 kt. ground speeds.
The entire trip was flown IFR with a couple of approaches in IMC.
Can't imagine a trip like this without on board weather, I now consider
it a no-go item for a long trip.
The airplane never missed a beat in the 16.5 hours. At the higher
altitudes and temps 30 degrees above standard we had to increase fuel
flow to about 75 rich of peak to keep a couple of cyls below 380.
I know this is not new news for all those already flying. For those
about to, keep working, you are going to love your airplane.
See you at OSH.
